It is a real shame to see a career journalist like Colin Perkel writing agenda-driven propaganda at the behest of his corporate masters – when he must know that he is being used to deliver half-truths in furtherance of a cover-up of criminal behaviour by senior Ontario lawyers.

After his first hit-piece against my lawyer Paul Slansky, published June 21, 2016, Perkel did not reply to my offers to be interviewed.

The DonaldBest.CA articles that the Toronto Star reporters read also documented (supported by sworn affidavits and court transcripts) that no judge and no court has ever listened to the voice recordings that prove that I was convicted and jailed upon the deliberate lies, perjury and deception of corrupt Toronto lawyers Lorne Silver, Gerald Ranking and Sebastien Kwidzinski.

The judges who never listened to my audio recordings include Justice Susan Healey – whose comments Perkel loves to selectively quote in his articles. Perkel knows that truth, but the truth is not included in his commissioned hit-piece:

Justice Susan Healey made her decision and comments based upon the court record that excluded the voice recordings and other irrefutable evidence of illegal acts by the named lawyers.

Colin Perkel and his Toronto Star editors and colleagues know my full story; that lawyers Silver, Ranking and Kwidzinski refused to be cross-examined about their false testimony and successfully used legal tactics to avoid having a civil trial. The three lawyers simply could not have a jury of ordinary Canadians listening to the damning voice recordings of a teleconference where I clearly told them that I did not receive a certain court order.

Perkel knows all this and has undoubtedly listened to the secretly made voice recordings that irrefutably prove the lawyers lied to the court.

Colin Perkel and his Toronto Star editors and colleagues know that my case has never gone to trial because the courts ruled that if I want a trial I must pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in security costs up front – money that no ordinary Canadian has. Perkel knows that the system effectively protected two corrupt senior lawyers by preventing me from presenting the evidence to a jury of ordinary Canadians.

The journalists also know that there is a current Judicial Review of the Canadian Judicial Council’s decision regarding my complaint about serious judicial misconduct by Justice J. Bryan Shaughnessy. But neither Perkel nor his Toronto Star masters will cover that inconvenient story because it leads back to how I was convicted in the first place.

Perkel and his colleagues at the Toronto Star know all of this – yet published a commissioned hit piece that presents only carefully selected snippets that support their masters’ narrative.

The death of the legacy news media

How appropriate that in the same Toronto Star online edition where Colin Perkel published his fake news article, Atkinson Fellow Catherine Wallace lamented the slow and agonizing death of the legacy news media.

“Just 20 years ago, the news industry was the gatekeeper of information and opinion, deciding what and who would be covered, and in what manner; choosing whose views would be aired.”

As the result of Perkel’s latest article, several thousand ordinary Canadians who might not have been aware of my case visited DonaldBest.CA, read the articles, listened to the recordings and downloaded the legal documents that prove the accuracy of what I write.

So once again I say to Colin Perkel, the Canadian Press and the Toronto Star, “Thanks for the boost.”

One comment

|Judge Susan Healey sounds like a real piece of work Judge that refused to listen to your tapes and called your lawsuit frivalous but then she made another lawyer pay back money because he used a witness that was supposedly biased so to make Colin Perkel look rather silly with his articles we can then ask what another poster wrote –couldnt what Judge Susan Healey used as an argument with Jeffrey Streisfeld be used to tell Mr. Wardell that his representing the Judge with the conflicted lawyers would be deemed to be the same as in the Jeffrey Streisfeld argument and therefore conflict of interest that could end up costing Mr. Wardell money if he uses the conflicted lawyers to be witnesses for Judge Shaughnessey. Quite interesting way to look at it and to show what a cover up and conspiracy there is within the Ontario Court System to call your case frivilous and vexacious. The only frivilous people here are the whitewashing judges that prove they are corrupt. Time to remove them from the bench.
